back, despite his deteriorating health, he's coming back. >> mike: i don't know what i caught from you two. >> clayton: hacking. and good to see you, dave is taking time off as the weather is crazy down in the gulf this morning. >> alisyn: your headlines and we begin with the extreme weather alert for you. tropical storm's debby churning in the gulf of mexico, threatening strong winds and flooding rains, from florida all the way to texas. >> clayton: the storm's outer band responsible for a tornado touchdown in naples. trees down, all over the place, no one was hurt. >> mike: let's get right to maria. you were showing us the spaghetti models you called them and it looked like florida and now maybe texas. >> yeah, they're still all over the place, a chance it could turn eastward to florida, the models are very, not in consensus here the idea where tropical storm debby is going to go. right now the national hurricane center is going with

the idea, a large rich of high pressure is going to dominate across the u.s. and thread to the east and that's a system that will pull debby to the west and could be looking at landfall late in the week, next week, across the eastern part of texas, along the houston area or even north of corpus christi, but again, a long way to go here. the storm system is a very slow mover and has not taken a turn toward the east or west and still moving to the the north at about three miles per hour and sustained winds at 50 miles per hour, you have to keep in mind the wind gusts could be 50 miles per hour and we have warm weather out here, and expecting tropical storm debby to eventually gain category one hurricane strength as we head into later in the week, next week by friday, sustained winds, and a low confident forecast, here are the spaghetti models, all

over the place, and still looking at the possibility that debby could actually take a turn towards the east towards florida or say, towards the west, like the idea is right now, towards the state of texas and some of them also going northward into the new orleans area, but again, a lot, a long way to go here, several days to go with the storm system and we're going to continue to keep a close eye on. the idea is that debby will strengthen, temperatures in the low 80's across the gulf of mexico and it could be a category 1 by next week. a lot with the storm system, regardless of what it does, where it goes or what the strength is, we know we're going to get heavy rain through the state of florida, typically with systems like this, the heaviest on the eastern part of the storm and the eastern part of the storm is impacting florida right now and some of the outer rain band could produce tornado touchdowns, very brief, but could occur and also some damage and something else that

we have to kind our minds on and severe weather possibility across the state of florida and expecting a lot of heavy rain, and flash flood watches, tallahassee, and the florida panhandle and rainfall accumulations, four to eight inches, locally that bright shading there, across northeastern florida and also across the florida panhandle, a lot to keep an eye on here. >> thanks so much for keeping it eye on it, we'll check back to you of course. >> let's talk about the fast and the furious, we're getting more information about the executive privilege to bring you up to speed. the president asserted potentially damaging thousands of documents and potentially damaging of course, darrell issa has wanted these documents and the committee has one of the documents because they want to know, first of all, who in the world knew about this and that's the question. who knew about this and when they knew about it, what did they do to stop it. it turns out when the white house asserted its executive privilege there may be some

other precedence why this could be useful. >> mike: we'll talk about that, but it seems that everybody is weighing in on this. and yesterday i heard these remarks by jim out of wisconsin, this is what he had to say, the president's assertion of executive privilege is an illegal attempt to avoid responsibility for the department's misconduct. the privilege cannot be used to protect documents in the the face of wrongdoing, that does relate to the thing we'll talk about in 1997 in just a second. >> alisyn: you go back to 1997, i go back to 1792. >> mike: you look good. >> alisyn: that's how old that the executive privilege is. >> mike: oh, yeah. >> alisyn: it dates back to every president. >> mike: george washington. >> alisyn: george washington and every president has invoked is on some level to try to protect the private decision making that's gone on with the president that they don't want to reveal to congress. that of course opens a whole can of worms, because if the president was involved, and if

this was some sort of private deliberations, that the president knew about fast and furious, it's all very complicated about what falls under the banner of executive privilege and what shouldn't. >> mike: who decides that. >> clayton: that's what the representative was saying yesterday on the show the idea why does the president now get involved? no one was pointing the finger at president obama, the department of justice. >> mike: eric holder. >> clayton: is the president dragging into this fight in a way? take a listen to him yesterday. >> we will file in federal court in d.c. and demand that they produce a log of all the documents they're claiming are privileged. as a judge, reviewed things like that in camera and you determine what is privileged and what isn't. there may not be anything privileged here, but now they're going to end up having to produce the log that they say is privileged. >> alisyn: if you missed the first few words, they're planning to file a civil lawsuit to make them have to justify the executive

privilege order and to show, so funny because when you invoke executive privilege you don't want to show any documents, but you have to show the documents to prove that executive privilege-- >> a catch 22. it's not up to the president, the president wants to invoke the executive privilege, but an appeals court decides whether it's legal or not. in 1997, i think bill clinton invoked 14 times. >> alisyn: some were overturned or not accepted i guess is the word. >> mike: and george bush, six times, this is president obama's first time to invoke it. go back to this, the privilege, what the federal court ruled in 1997, the privilege disappears altogether when there's any reason to believe government misconduct occurred. >> clayton: so that's the gray area. and actually it's going to be interesting because we are going to talk to chris wallace, host of fox news sunday, coming up later in the show, he had darrell issa on his show this morning and we have a preview of what darrell

issa is hoping to accomplish because this week we could see this, as congressional republicans move toward this contempt of congress case against eric holder and maybe as vote as early as wednesday. >> alisyn: we've given you the wonky details of executive privilege and now the human story of course brian terry's family, the border agent murdered and brian terry's family naturally wants justice. they want answers like all families who lose a loved one. yesterday, we had on the head of the border security union, george mcruben to talk about why he is calling for eric holder to resign. >> there's somebody responsible, they need to be held accountable, it's pretty simple for us. we're looking for a sin veer apology to the the terry family, that he turns over all the relevant documents, we're also looking for him to answer all the questions honestly and truthfully, to date i don't believe he's done that and the

fourth step as you've stated for him to resign his post as attorney general. >> mike: well, he may have, he may have apologized. >> clayton: we're hearing why is there no apology to the family, why haven't we heard about it, and if it happens the way that -- in this next sound bite we're about to play for you, in could be perhaps a good thing, i guess. we'll play this, this is matthew miller, a former aide to attorney general eric holder, he says, look, he reached out to the family, he didn't with a to do it with any cameras or the public or press to know about it, take a listen. >> he didn't think it was appropriate to make a big show of it in public, you know, and apologize in front of a full senate hearing, in front of the cameras, but he reached out to them privately and expressed regret in a way that i think was appropriate and was the right thing to do. >> alisyn: now, there you go. we hadn't heard that before. oinl, it would be up to the terry family if they want today reveal if that was true and what eric holder said. we've never heard that he actually reached out to them. >> mike: i agree with that, i think. if you're going to go

apologize, you have something to apologize for, you should do it in private first. >> alisyn: absolutely. >> mike: instead of dragging a camera, look at me, i'm apologizing. >> alisyn: other ways looks like you're-- >> grand standing. >> alisyn: so we're going to be talking to a cousin of brian terry and join us in about three hours and 45 minutes. >> mike: wow. >> alisyn: so get comfortable, everyone. >> mike: he may know if there was a private apology. >> alisyn: yes. >> mike: okay. >> clayton: let's talk about obamacare this morning, because the real questions as to whether or not the whole law would be tossed out and i mean, the supreme court dealing with this right now. and so, whether or not just a portion of it gets taken out, the whole thing gets taken out. it's sort of taken apart and placed over here, you know, like frankenstein, pull it apart and with electricity, shock is back to life. and here what is bill cassidy said, the whole thing needs to be revealed, not just peace

meal. >> not does president obama's health care not work, it makes things drive up. making it harder for small businesses to hire workers, the only way to change this is by repealing obamacare entirely. so, unless the court throws out the entire law, we should repeal what is left and implement common sense step by step reform, that protects american's access to the care they need from the doctor they choose at the lowest cost. . >> mike: how do you feel about that, if they take out the individual mandate, is that enou enough. i've heard 26 states want to repeal it and if they just pull out the individual mandate they want the whole thing. >> alisyn: the poll suggests that majority of americans want the repeal, but yet, they lining what it office. >> mike: it's odd. >> clayton: a lot of insurance companies are taking a part. pre-existing conditions or even the 26-year-old rule.

>> mike: i like that part of it. >> clayton: insurance companies says hey, we'll keep that. regardless of what happens, there are certain insurance companies we'll keep the 26-year-old rule we like that. and let's bring in the american center for the law and justice, here with us this morning, come on in, have a seat. >> alisyn: he's being man handled by our floor director. we're sorry, we make everybody before they come on. >> mike: we should have had a walk on. >> alisyn: george, can you address what we were talking about, is it hard for the supreme court to take away rights once they've been instituted such as up to 26-year-old children being covered under their parents program. >> that's why the supreme court during the oral or gument three days, people have to remember back now, unprecedented, but to go back and say oh, we're going to let that happen. that's issue one and see when the opinion comes out tomorrow. does it get over that anti-injunction act. a lot of people were concerned to use that, you can't do this until you pay the penalty and the mandate, then who is ever going to challenge this two

years from now if you don't like it. once you get used to the benefits and programs, don't take them away. you know, the fourth wheel of policy, can't talk about those issue anymore. >> clayton: social security and other things of course. and we were chatting about this, the kids provision. >> sure. this would be tough. >> clayton: kids stay on a parents' plan through the age 26 we'll throw those up on the screen, yeah, and coverage for people with pre-existing conditions as you mentioned. >> alisyn: don't want to lose those all of a sudden. something that people fought for. >> clayton: and pull these out, is it still possible they exist in other capacities. >> the obama administration says if you hold the individual mandate unconstitutional, they could hold that just part of the law stands. please get rid of the pre-existing part as well if not, nancy pelosi talked about it yesterday, skyrocketing premiums, 15, 20% for your employer and for you u and

some saying the popular provisions and 26 with the parents, that doesn't work. that's why they had a solution, mandate goes, raise taxes. you kept seeing this in the court, why not just raise taxes, we may not like it. >> mike: do you think that the obama administration, some people in there rooting for the supreme court to take this down. >> i think the biggest hope, they are hoping for a full victory. you know know, 5-4. if you take the mandate out and send it back, it'd be cruel and unusual punishment. for us to take the mandate out what every single part had to go. >> mike: whatever they could-- >> and could be dangerous, and if and-- >> and the feeling about the supreme court rule. 38% say overturn the whole

law. 30% say uphold as constitutional 21% keep most and validate the mandate, however-- involume date mandate. >> mike: for people who understand it. >> alisyn: or even understand what i am saying. >> clayton: and who hung up. and interesting, the majority of americans want them to overturn it. >> i think this is what you've seen it throughout. it was supposed to be the more we learned about it, clearer, and the mandate thing is scary. always at the top. the supreme court and justin kennedy everyone is watching this week and he said this will fundamentally alter and change the relationship between individuals and their government. so they know this. >> alisyn: by nature of being born, you must buy something. >> for the first time congress can force you into the stream of commerce, that's the key legal term of art under the commerce clause of article one, they've never been able to do that. of course, if you buy a stock,

they can regulate the stock market, but they can't force you to buy a stock. that is a fundamental difference and people can look at other parts of the law, that sound great, i love to have that, but the mandate was the only way to try to get enough money. >> we have a person coming up, a guest, it's overturned completely by the supreme court, it might boost the economy and might be more jobs. what's your take on that. >> i think you're reporting out to the insurance companies already using this to compete with each other, we're going to keep this provision, that's free market and paul ryan and mitt romney have been talking about are ones actually on paper working, give them good ideas to implement themselves and it starts being more reasonable for all of us. >> alisyn: quickly in ten seconds, what's going to happen tomorrow? >> i think honestly, i think the mandate goes, court may take out a couple of provisions, be i would be excited, but big for them to declare the whole law unconstitutional. the state medicaid, leaning

more to the federal governme government. >> alisyn: let's get your headlines, developing story right now to tell you about overnight. four n.a.t.o. service members are killed in afghanistan. one died in the insurgent attack and another in a bomb blast and two others in a traffic accident. n.a.t.o. has yet to identify their nationties. crews in a massive wildfire in colorado have more to contend with, another blaze sparks up near waldo canyon. more than a thousand homes have been evacuated. 2000 acres are burning and expect today grow as the fire is the at zero% contained at the moment. luck youly, no one had been hurt and no homes caught fire. tensions on the rise in egypt this morning. your elooking there at huge crowds gathering at tahrir square, and the results of the nation's highly disputed run off election.

and egyptian president hosni mubarak, and a popular uprising last year. the races between mubarak's former prime minister and the candidate from the muslim brotherhood promised to return power and the results were delayed last weekend when both candidates declared victory. finally, police called it a miracle. a family of four escaping from this burning car in chicago. the car stalled after getting a flat tire on the expressway and that's when a truck hit it from behind and caused the gas tank to explode. you won't believe this looking at the aftermath, but a four month old and a two-year-old in the back seat were okay. they were fine, they were not injured. their mother and another adult also making it out unharmed. >> mike: how. >> alisyn: i don't know. >> imagine getting the car seat out. not like grabbing them and running, and pop things out. which without flames. >> alisyn: i can't get them in car seats or out of the car seat any day. >> clayton: remarkable, get them on the show.

>> mike: let's talk taxes for a bit, but make it interesting. >> alisyn: how? >> try. >> mike: here we go. >> alisyn: good luck. >> mike: would you be willing to leave the united states of america, renounce your citizen zip so you wouldn't have to pay so much in taxes. especially if you're really rich. >> clayton: we heard about this with facebook co-founder eduar eduardo saferen, living in singapore with models and-- a record number of citizens, 8,000 are planning to renounce their citizenship and in order to save money. >> mike: six month in, compared to last year, half that, 3000 people renouncing. >> alisyn: that's horrible, right? it's cheating, it's cheating. this is the country that gave you your fame and fortune and able to make millions of dollars because of the entrepreneurial spirit here able to leave it. >> mike: ali, if we decide to

tax you to death. don't you see why they might want to do it. >> alisyn: no, no, because america is the best country in the world, obviously, i mean, it gives you so much freedom to achieve your destiny, number one. >> mike: all right. >> alisyn: and number two, taxing you to death you say, you mean going back to the rate of clinton, president clinton when it was the biggest economic boom and bubble here in the country ever? i mean, that's what they're afraid of is losing the bush tax cuts and going back to the era of clinton, that's why they're willing to not be american. >> clayton: so the end of the year that's what they're mostly concerned about. the bush era tax cuts and also some other issues. >> alisyn: if the buffet rule were to happen-- >> besides singapore, the high rise, model. >> alisyn: i hear the envy in clayton's voice is driving this. >> clayton: and mike is thinking about renouncing. >> mike: i'm thinking before ten. australia, cayman islands, and down there--

>> i notice you're skipping over a country none of us have heard of. >> what is it? >> a country so great we've never heard of that guernsey. >> clayton: comes back to, this is a country that helps foster your wealth and growth and going to renounce, when you're the hit with a tax bill. >> alisyn: it's a love em, leave em. >> mike: you understand their frustration. >> clayton: sure. >> alisyn: of course, no one likes taxes. no one likes taxes, but it's part of the cost of doing business. >> clayton: and you brought us george washington earlier. whiskey rebellion. and got on horseback and rode out to western pennsylvania. didn't want to pay their taxings, right? george washington, uh-uh, it's america, you're going to pay your taxes and ear going to drink whiskey and pay taxes. >> alisyn: i like what george washington said. you're going to drink whiskey.

>> mike: i took his advice last night and i probably shouldn't. >> clayton: you had your own whiskey rebellion. coming up on the show, are billions of your hard earned tax dollars going to fidel castro. a medicare scheme. >> mike: and is e-mail and text dumping us down. oh, yes, really big grammar mistakes, is it because of the tweeting and texting. >> alisyn: if you love candy, stick around, five new flavors are coming out this year. can you say chocolate covered beef jerky. >> clayton: yes, i can. >> alisyn: there goes clayton to sniff around right now. oh! ♪ ♪ now that's like sunblock before or sun burn cream later.

>> there are a couple of things to get alisyn out of bed in the morning. >> alisyn: or off the sofa. >> clayton: one is david beckham and two is candy. this is appropriate for you. >> alisyn: yes, we were about to reveal to you under the list, the hottest new candies. the flavor sensations, and mike reveal this. >> clayton: these are coming out. >> alisyn: coming out this year and the first bite let us know how it goes. >> mike: wait for a tight shot. >> alisyn: beef jerky, chocolate, you heard me, this is from wild ophelia, beef jerky, this is all the ingredients are from local farms and food artisans and she's dipped beef jerky in

molten milk chocolate. >> clayton: hand over the jerky. >> mike: let's go jerky boys. >> alisyn: don't eat all of that yourself. go. >> so, i guess it's like chopped up in there, i guess, i don't know. >> mike: i can taste it there. >> clayton: next on the list, if you're a fan of peanut butter and peanut butter and jelly, why not combine it into one candy bay. >> alisyn: why not. >> from hammond's candy. >> mike: taste it. i've still got jerky breath. >> alisyn: yeah, you do. >> clayton: and mixing it with peanut and jelly. >> mike: i like that one. >> alisyn: nobody told me that the jelly would slime me. >> clayton: what is this? this is bacon, i knew we had he' have bacon involved in some capacity. >> bacon!. >> clayton: this is from two hot cow girls confections.

>> alisyn: and butter crunch with hickory smoked bacon and a chocolate drizzle. >> clayton: why are you directing me to try it, you need to rye it, too. >> mike: that's not bad. i like that one. >> clayton: can you imagine eating a whole bag. >> alisyn: i'm about to reveal the dry roca, guess what, it's gruten free, look at this. >> it looks like dog pooh (laughter) >> it does, but it tastes-- >> who left that here. >> clayton: let's hope it doesn't taste like that. >> alisyn: better than dog pooh, that's my endorsement. >> mike: might be the best thing up here. i like that. >> clayton: that one, mike was thrown, he might not be, but it's his favorite. >> alisyn: that's good. >> clayton: next one, finally, and drum roll. [drum roll]

>> m & m's. gravity doesn't work well. >> alisyn: this is the m & m snack mix salty and sweet combo. >> clayton: chocolate chip cookies. >> alisyn: cookies, m & m's, peanuts. this is my favorite segment ever. >> clayton: m & m's hit a home run. >> alisyn: you know what's funny, this show is going to be markedly improved for the next 20 minutes until we crash. >> clayton: and let's go to peter doocy. i'm sorry, we couldn't send any of it down there. >> reporter: that's all right, and i don't want anything that microjerrick described it, i'll have a muffin, and in europe, so far the election cycle, the obama campaign has raised 455,000 from abroad, which is about three times more than mitt

romney has raised abroad, but both sides are certainly benefitting from fundraisers who are american citizens who pay american taxes just live other places and the vice chairwoman of abroad, total her support for the president abroad, quote, he has a world perspective that i think is important to stay interacted to ensure the u.s. stays in the lead. we can't work in isolation or with blinkers on. now, back in 2008, president obama reportedly raised around 2.3 million dollar from donors who lived outside the states, while, senator john mccain raised less than 1 million dollars a this time around, president obama, once again, outpacing his republican opponent, but republicans are still giving a lot and the executive director of republicans abroad told politico, i think that americans living overseas, everybody is very concerned about where we are heading and it has a ripple effect. people are worried, even if

they are there for a long time. they still have relatives here or they still send their kids to cool school in the u.s. and mitt romney is apparently going to attend one of these fundraisers abroad, in london whens' there for the olympics and president obama hasn't gone to one yet out of the country, but some of his advisors and top advisors have made the trip and people are paying a lot in other countries to get face time with jim messina and campaign attorney bob bauer. back to you in new york. >> clayton: sounds like a hoot. >> mike: anybody over here weasel their way over to london from our staff. mark always end up somewhere fancy. >> clayton: the queen, the queen has-- >> i did get to go on a business shoot for ten days in london. it was the best. >> mike: i love london. >> clayton: ate the scones and came back ten pounds heavier. let's get to the headlines. >> alisyn: here are the headlines, a scary situation for one phoenix family, their

14-year-old son was home alone baby-sitting three younger siblings, heard a loud bang and a strange woman at the door. thinking fast he rushed everyone upstairs and he grabbed a gun from his parent's bedroom when he saw a man breaking in and pointing a rifle at him and he shot the man and rounded up the siblings and the suspect remains in critical condition this morning, but police have not caught the woman. wow. terrifying. new video out of ontario, canada, taken minutes after part of a parking garage collapse at a busy mall and just look at that hole there, it that you see. it was so big, several cars fell right through. terrified shoppers said they started running for their lives and heard a rumbling and pieces of the roof crumbling. searchers for looking for any other people who may be trapped. and a gas leak that caused

them to shut the mall. and a new report shows that the castro government may be aiding or profiting off medicare and medicaid schemes in the states. the republican senators coburn and orrin hatch, say it may be funneling to other countries as well. a soldier reunited with his family after almost losing his life at sea. he was attempt to go sail around the world and the journey was cut two days short out of the nowhere, a whale jumped out of the water and hit the sail boat, in the ocean, and it knocked out the boat's steering and it started to sink. >> took the boat, turned it to port, and then shot it, i say, about 40 degree angle, it might have been 20, but shot it like it was ready it take

off. i accept the fact that i probably will not make it. i didn't like the idea of drowning much. >> alisyn: after being stranded off the coast of mexico for five hours, coast guard arrived and pulled him to safety. okay. those are intense stories for you. >> mike: speaking of the gulf of mexico, that's what maria is watching right now, because of debby, oh, yeah. >> good morning, good to see you, mike, ali and clayton, good morning, everyone, yes, we have our eyes on the gulf. today and over the next several days, because we have a tropical storm right now, its name is debby, and sustained winds at 50 miles per hour with stronger wind gusts so the storm system became a tropical storm yesterday and it has to slowly continue to intensify and blow up with showers and thunderstorms, mainly on the eastern half of the storm system. closer to the state florida because we have winds out of the west, blowing towards the east. the national hurricane center does think that the general idea with the system, it will

eventually take a turn to the west, adjust to the south or the center will stay just to the the south of the state of louisiana and head towards texas. it's going to be a very slow mover. right now it's not taken a turn to the east or west and it's moving slowly or at about 3 miles per hour and eventually we're thinking that that system could turn towards the west. a lot of uncertainty though, as far as where the system is going to go. we're going to show you why in just a moment. a lot of warm water out across the gulf. temperatures into the 80's and the system is expected to continue to intensify and by early wednesday morning, it could be a category 1 hurricane, with sustained winds at 75 miles per hour, and it will gradually continue to intensify then, if it does remain over open water and doesn't make landfall. if you click ahead. take a look at the next graphic and basically we already have a tropical storm warning in effect along the southeastern part of the louisiana cost, it does not include new orleans, but of course, anywhere from texas to the florida coast because you have that possibility of seeing a tropical storm

warning or watch, inch into your area, a warning, you could already see some tropical storm force winds as early as later tonight into tomorrow morning. so, if you need to take preparations now, if you live across the areas and make sure to listen to officials. two computer models quickly, show you the first one and the second one later on in the show and this is gfs pretty reliable system and this has the cold front sinking southward and pulling the system towards the north and east and this would make debby, basically make landfall across northern florida and of course, keep track of the storm here. >> mike: she can't make up her mind, debby. >> clayton: like any good woman. >> alisyn: thanks so much. and all right here is a news flash for you, e-mail is making us dumber. >> clayton: i don't buy it. >> alisyn: texting and e-mail, we use shorthand, don't use proper grammar, it's seeping into the way we speak. >> mike: give me an example. >> alisyn: i'll give you an example. i, for instance, sometimes catch myself saying, where are

you? with like the r and the u and i just did it again, i just said like, people are peppering their sentences with like, like, you know. >> clayton: the wall street journal is breaking it down it's affecting client relations when they're trying to get clients involved in new things, that when their employees are sending out e-mails and not-- used to be you'd copy edit something, if alisyn was going to write out important letter going out prospective clients it would be cross checked and now the letter is sent willy nilly and causing problems. >> mike: and you were raised receiving texts, and y-o-u-r is you're seeing u-r. is that seeping in it. >> alisyn: no one is being as meticulous and this is the shorthand.

>> mike: help me i've always had a difficult time with effect and affect. >> clayton: and that's a usual. common grammar gaffes that are peppering our language. >> alisyn: the wall street journal broke this down and interviewed all sorts of employers and see this all the time. so, chocolate has a positive tactful effect with an e on his mood and fact is something that's different. >> clayton: incorrect. >> alisyn: fact is more of a verb. if you take on a tactffact-- affect. >> clayton: as a kid you might wear a monkey hat and turn 16 years old you want to wear a monkey hat that's an affect issue. >> mike: i don't know what a monkey hat is. >> alisyn: as a kid you're wearing a monkey mat. >> clayton: and when a kid turns into a goth affecttation, as a little kid-- >> here is another one, i and me.

a double whammy, here. let's start with the first one. the city of norfolk, wanted to seize the property and give it to old dominion. what did you make of the first effort to take away that 78-year-old business? >> we don't like it, we believe it's an illegal taking. they're doing it basically for economic development. they're not going to build a classroom, a library or even a park. >> alisyn: so, in protest, what did you do? >> well, out of frustration, we wanted the general public to know what was going on so we erected a banner that told the story very simply. we were long time residents of norfolk, good corporate citizens. we employed 100 people, to get paid good wages, to spend their money in an office, live in norfolk, children go to school in norfolk, and pay taxes in norfolk. >> alisyn: we can see the banner behind you guys on the side of the building, as you said, it spells out your problem.

the issue, the city says, it was 375 square feet big, they say that that violates, i guess, a city ordinance. erica, is that accurate? is 375 feet too big? is it breaking the law? >> that's what the city says, the city says they want them to take down the sign and replace it with one, only 1/7 of the current size. 375 square feet to 60 square feet. but if central radio did that, the sign would no longer be visible to thousands of drivers that pass central radio every day, there's no point in having a protest sign if nobody can read it. >> alisyn: bob, is this the only sign in the area that is that big? >> no, ma'am, not by a long shot. old dominion has signs on their university as big as ours if not bigger, but there are signs throughout the city equally as big as ours, on various buildings. >> alisyn: bob, correct me if i'm wrong, but this feels like your rights are being impinged

upon in a big way, first, your business may be seized and then your right to freedom of speech. >> well, i agree. we put the banner up, as a protest. we figured that it's part of our first amendment right, it's our duty to protest when we think our government is wrong. >> alisyn: erica, what are you going to do here to fight back against the city? >> well, we're determined to take this case all the way to the supreme court if we have to. what the city is doing is unconstitutional and we're absolutely confident that we're going to prevail. >> alisyn: keep us posted, please, we'd love to know how it works out for all of you there. bob wilson, erica smith. thank you for bringing your story to us. >> thank you. >> a father loses custody of his children after a judge rules that he's an unfit parent because of his weight. but does the number on the scale really determine whether or not you're a good parent? we have that debate next. and one of town is telling president obama to pay up at the upcoming campaign stop.

>> welcome back to "fox & friends," this is a story, i'm sure it's going to blow up our e-mail feed this morning. does having a weight problem make you an unfit parent. that's what one court ruled and now the 360 pound father of two will lose custody of his five and six-year-old sons and the two boys placed up for adoption. does the number on the scale indicate your ability to be a good parent. and to debate this, jennifer

brand, a family law attorney. and the identity of the father and children are protected. we don't have any photos. let me start with you, miss brandt about this. what threshold did the court reach, you know what? that father is unfit to parent, we're taking the kids away? >> well, really, they found that he wasn't able to take care of the kids properly. he wasn't able to walk and care for the needs of young children who are very, very active. so, i mean, that's what determined that he was an unfit parent and i think it was the correct decision. because, anytime a parent is unfit, they-- children can be taken away. >> what about this, carry? i mean, the idea that you're didded is this a disability? i mean, if you're obese, it is a disability and you use that threshold to measure the, you know, the other disabilities that folks have out there, perhaps someone is in a wheelchair, does it make them

incompetent as a parent? >> no, absolutely not. the the scales of justice tips the wrong way on this one. i think the judge got it wrong. this is a very slippery slope. because there's such a subjective decision here on what is too fat. and what is, the judge wouldn't take away children of a paraplegic. they would ask them to get help. they would ask them to get child care, and those people certainly would have people in their homes, assisting them, if they can't take care of their children and this is the case where this is an activist judge, and excertifying influence over a privacy interest in this man's life. but you would have to agree. you would have to agree if someone has a drug problem or an alcohol problem or not able to take care of the children that's a case where the court does need to step in and make sure the children are properly cared for and in the right environment. i don't think this is any different than that.

>> i do. certainly, this is a man that has a physical impediment, but he can adapt to that physical impediment and get the help he needs. >> he had the opportunity, he's had the opportunity to adapt and he wasn't able to do it. he was given a chance to get fit. >> no. >> and to be able to care for the children and he was not able to do that, he just would not and he said he was depressed and you know, he wasn't able and this and the children-- >> carrie what about this. >> this is a man that lost over a hundred pounds in the past year, i think he's proven his ability, his desire to parent these children. i certainly think that the fact that he's lost over a hundred pounds in a year goes a long way towards creating and adapting to a situation that's not ideal. >> clayton: jennifer, i want you to answer asking carrie brought up a slippery slope, at what point do you say that this person is too obese? we know the statistics, what is it, almost over a third of

the americans considered technically obese and the number is expected to go up to 50% in about 15 years. by that metric, maybe half the country would be unfit to parent? >> i don't think that's the case the at all. i think you have to do, take this on a case by case basis. i mean, we've seen instances in the u.s. where children are taken away from their parents when they're too obese and the parents can't care for them properly and allow them to just become severely overweightment so, i don't think this is any different than that. >> jennifer and carrie, we've got to leave it there. i'm sure the debate will continue on twitter. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> if you want to weigh in, find me at twitter, clayton morris, at what point are you too fat to parent? let me know. coming up we'll talk about this military father and this boy scout earning the maximum number of merit badges, asaw his sash out there, unbelievable. we'll meet him. our cloud is not soft and fluffy.

"fox & friends" hour two starts right now. ♪

welcome in to "fox & friends" on this beautiful sunday morning, now that the heatwave has escaped manhattan, it's finally actually gorgeous here and we'll get to the weather here, not so gorgeous. >> alisyn: in fact, we begin with the fox weather extreme alert for you, because debby is setting its sights on the gulf coast this morning and the question is exactly when and where it will make landfall. >> mike: debby's outer bands being blamed for a touchdown. it was a quick one on the west coast of florida. about a dozen homes were damaged and the city is now littered with downed trees and power lines and roof tiles, et cetera. and unfortunately, well, fortunately, nobody seriously injured in that one. >> fortunately, no one was in the car when it was crushed by the tree. for more on tropical storm debby, go to meteorologist maria molina, tracking the different weather models and some headed toward new orleans and some look like they going to the east over florida. >> exactly, clayton, we're talking about a wide range of

scenarios, florida to texas can be impacted by the storm debby. and the reason we think it's going to head to the west and eastern texas because we think a large high pressure a going to sweep the system off and take it in that general direction. a lot of them uncertainty where it's going to go. what we know is that it's strengthening and right now, it's headed northward slowly at three miles per hour and not taken a turn in either direction just yet and most of the convex with the storm system is on the eastern half of where the center of circulation is, it's basically pushing those eastward over the state of florida where we have those outer rain bands currently impacting the state and unfortunately, you get the location from one of the thunderstorms and you very quickly and easily can get a quick tornado touch down and that's what we saw yesterday in the state, in the city of naples, so, of course, anyone along the western coast of florida stay alert. again, right now, a general

idea that the system will eventually take a turn toward the west and very warm water here, temperatures into the 80's, so, debby is forecast to eventually become a category one hurricane, with sustained wind of 75 miles per hour, and tropical warnings along louisiana and new orleans, not included. >> maria, thank you. keep an eye on the models for us and we'll check back with you, let's get the rest of the your headlines and what else is happening in the world. because we begin in afghanistan. where n.a.t.o. says four service members have died, and one of them was killed in an insurgent attack, another in a bomb blast and two other service members died in a car accident. at this hour, n.a.t.o. has not revealed any of their nationalities. let's look live right now, pictures out of cairo, egypt and security officials are on high alert and fear that violence could break out from the nation's run off elections are announced. the winner will replace the former egyptian president, hosni mubarak, overthrown in a

historic popular uprising last year. the candidate from the muslim brotherhood, who promised to return power to people, and the results were delayed after both candidates declared victory last week. and the town in new hampshire, having the obama campaign to foot the bill and the city officials say the extra security needed for the visit would likely cost up to $30,000 and it's only fair that the campaign pays for it instead of taxpayers. so far no word if they plan to comply with that request. this is happening overnight. a historic moment for china and one of the spacecraft orbitting the module for the first time ever. [applaus [applause] >> its docking was shown on live television. the mission is expected to last for ten days and it's china's fourth manned mission,

the company is trying to catch up with the u.s. and includes china's first female space traveler, congratulations to her. >> mike: yeah, congratulations. >> clayton: congratulations. let's check in now on fast and furious, we're updating you what's going on with the the executive privilege. remember, late last week, president obama invoking executive privilege to hide or keep from the public view thousands of documents as relates to fast and furious, why would the president suddenly throw his hat into the argument and say that the documents that the department of justice has, we're going to invoke executive privilege. turns out there may be a precedent for that being wrong, might not work. >> mike: during the clinton administration, i think that president clinton invoked executive privilege 14 times, george w. bush, six times and this is president barack obama's first time. and because they invoke the privilege, doesn't mean it's legal.

that's up to a federal appeals court and that could be happening soon. >> alisyn: this is a whole new ball of wax. first the fast and furious was controversial enough and now the executive privilege angers republicans and makes people say what are they hiding, is this an appropriate use of executive privilege. and if they didn't know about it, how could there be documents involving the president. >> clayton: on the other side the white house would argue and that's why many people do, george w. bush, and bill clinton, invoke executive privilege, this needs to remain private because we can't be sharing tactics with the public. >> alisyn: of course that's the underlying rational behind executive privilege. yesterday we had a congressman on and he said they are actually considering a civil lawsuit. >> and the thing about a civil suit that we will file in federal court in d.c. and demand that they produce a log of all the documents they're claiming are privileged, as a judge i reviewed things like

that in camera and you determine what is privileged and what isn't, and there may not be anything privileged horror, but now they're going to end up having to produce the log that they say a privileged. >> mike: so a judge may go back to 1997 and maybe have some precedence here. check this out relate today 1997 during the clinton administration, the privilege disappears for a president altogether when there's any reasonable to believe government misconduct occurred. >> and i mean, obviously, this is complicated on both sides. republicans and for democrats. republicans don't want to push too hard for executive privilege documents to have to be turned over and revealed because then if there's a republican president at some point in the future, the same precedent could be used on that, and executive privilege. >> clayton: the shoe is on the other foot, right. meanwhile, there's a family issue in the center of this entire controversial. >> mike: of course. >> clayton: and we've had the congressmen remind you, people

have died awes a result of this. and we've had border agents die as a result this have fast and furious scandal and there have been calls for attorney general eric holder to apologize to the family. listen to george on fox and friends yesterday, calling for the same thing. >> somebody responsible, they need to be held accountable. it's pretty simple for us. we're looking that he turn over the relevant documents. we're also looking for him to answer all the questions honestly, and truthfully. to date, i don't believe he's done that and the fourth step as you stated is for him to rehe sign his post as the attorney general. but maybe he did get, maybe the family did get an apology, that's according to matthew miller. remember that name. former aide to attorney general eric holder, he says that eric holder did reach out to the family, but did it in a private manner, listen. >> he didn't think it was appropriate to make a big show of it in public and you know, you know, apologize in front of a full senate hearing in front of the the cameras, but he reached out to them

privately and expressed regret in a way that i think is appropriate and with the right thing to do. >> so, he may have gotten it. >> we don't know, the terry family hasn't talked about whether or not they got a personal apology from the attorney general, we are having one of the terry family on with us at 9:45 eastern time just about two hours and 45 minutes from now, and we can ask him if they in fact did receive an apology. >> clayton: it will be fascinating to here and also chris wallace will be joining us at the top of the eight o'clock hour, he had darrell issa on the show today and it's going to be interesting, because this contempt vote against eric holder could come up as early as wednesday this week, so, fascinating. >> mike: okay, let's get to this because facebook is as clayton says, blowing up. are they mad at me now. >> clayton: probably. >> mike: a lot of people believe that wealthy people are overtaxed in this country. >> clayton: sure. >> mike: i mean, big time. why are you punished for making money. >> clayton: if you're overtaxed a lot, which a lot of people are, would you renounce your united states

citizenship. >> alisyn: right. >> clayton: and move to another country so you don't have to pay tax. >> alisyn: do you love your money more than you love your country. do you love your money more than being an american? because in record numbers people are denouncing their citizenship, the total per week now is-- >> 154 per week over six months, we've got-- >> 8,000 people denounced citizenship, is that possible? >> that's a huge jump from 2011 when 3800 people did, this is the new york post this morning, and a lot of this signed a light on facebook, and when one of the co-founders moved to singapore, in order to-- he said later i paid all of my taxes. >> alisyn: in case you didn't know this, you have to pay a 15% sea tax on all of your assets, your yachts, mansions and then you get to leave.

>> mike: well, if you leave, where would you go? would you go where the weather is nice. >> clayton: a tax shelter. >> mike: costa rica. >> clayton: here are a couple of places you would go. >> alisyn: where they have gone and people are going in droves. >> clayton: australia, norway, norway up there, the cayman islands, costa rica, guernsey. >> alisyn: norway, do people know how dark it is there in the winter? before you denounce your citizenship. >> mike: and norway one of the best places in the world 0 live, is that wild. >> clayton: because they have fiords. >> alisyn: does this make sense? denounce the citizenship, the country that gave you fame and fortune and allowed you to fulfill your dreams. >> mike: but if the government is taxing you so your face falls off, i understand the frustration, but i agree with you, you probably should stay with you and fight to change the tax laws.

>> clayton: we see this on a microlevel, state level. california the overregulation, amount that businesses are taxed and moving to utah and setting up tax shelters in those states. >> alisyn: that's a great way to do it stay in the united states and figure out where to live in the united states. >> clayton: move it utah, move to montana. all right, coming up on the show, all eyes on the supreme court this week as it gets ready to rule on obamacare, our next guest says if it's struck down we're going to see an economic boom. she's here to eplain that. >> mike: there's a good take. it might be good for the obama administration. >> alisyn: listen to this, a boy scott making a rare achievement and all to his military dad. >> mike: his sash is much bigger than my sash back when i was a kid. ♪

portion of it, this section. >> if it's overturned, this purple part. see that part here, the employer mandates will likely be overturned and this provision of the law says that employers with 50 or more workers have to provide health insurance and not just any plan, costly government prescribed plan, it adds, in most states, $1.79 every hour to the cost of hiring anybody, whether it's a waitress, a busboy, a ceo, $1.79 an hour and states like new york and new jersey, over $2 an hour. this is the latest hike in american history. >> employers have been holding back on hiring anybody, it struck fears in their hearts and if it suddenly overturned the employers, holding cash, reluctant to expand and that's hiring. >> and that's why you wrote a book about this. >> what's the name of the book. >> the obama law, how to overturn. >> if it does get overturned,

it should actually, oddly, end up helping the obama administration, maybe get reelected. >> yeah, bad news for obamacare, could be good news for the president, because, as employment improves and the economy starts pumping up, his reelection prospects look better and he may end up keeping his own job. >> so, if that one section gets taken out, which by all-- many, many experts on the show and constitutional law experts looked like the mandate is going to get struck down. >> i'm predicting, a 6-3 ruling, gents to the ladies. >> and with the rest of the law stands, will that create this injection into the economy. the mandate has taken out the rest of the law stands? >> and it includes, a vast expansion of medicaid that may also be struck down. huge cuts in medicare, very harmful to seniors, we're hoping that that will be struck down and many other provisions. and it's up to the justices to decide whether they're going to hand congress a blank slate and say, start over, or

whether they're going to intrude into health care and pick and choose what parts of the law remains. >> what is the the hardest hit group, when it comes obamacare. >> seniors are very hard hit, but in the work force, it's definitely the young adults, because when you take a 18 year old and you're supposed to pay $8 an hour and the government says it's going to cost you $10 an hour to hire that kid. he may not be worth it. he doesn't have the skills yet. so young adults are the hardest hit and unemployment wrong young adults is 50 higher than the rest of the population. when i'm looking at this, it's all tattered and you can tell she read that a lot of members ever congress didn't get a chance to do. >> unfortunately. >> mike: in the next hour we're going to spend the hour reading it. >> ask the president what his contingency plan is. he hasn't said he's ready in case the court strikes this down, what is he going to do next. >> clayton: all eyes on the supreme court this week, thanks, betsy. >> mike: your prediction is 6-3 on gender line.

also as a boy scout should and his encouragement and her encouragement made it all great and i'm really proud to be able to be there and work with them and getting the badges. >> alisyn: that's so sweet. colonel mcwilliams, it must touch you to hear you say he was inspired by you to underfw this endeavor. what was your proudest moment? >> oh, wow, his earning his eagle scout was my proudest moment. that was over a period of time when i was deployed or gonna lot of time. 2007 and a lot of 2008, and he was an eagle scout. deployed or getting ready to deploy, so, being able to watch him move out independently, again, a lot doing it all military style, to step in when the service member deploys, so, mom, mom really played a big role in that, but that was really proud and a lot of little moments as opposed to a the lot of the big ones and a lot of father and son time.

you know, i want today scuba dive and learned with my son and we've driven all over the united states for merit badge projects, so-- >> what do you think about it that allowed him to undertake this? >> you know, i think one was scouting as he said, scouting is encouraging, ever since he was six years old, cub scouts, enjoyed it, had a the lot of outdoors, things that he's gravitated to his whole life. and with a whole lot of motivation and you know, i think over time it just kind of grew into what it was. and he mentioned 2010, we're actually the national scout jamboree and he'd kind of reach a point what am i going to do next in scouting. try to earn them all. really from 2010 to 2012. i think he had about 60 to 80 badges left to earn and i think only had about 50 or so, it was a push in the last two years. >> alisyn: what an accomplishment. curry, what is next for you. do you ever consider joining the military? >> you know, that's kind of--

i'm going to kind of leave that to dad, but definitely, i do see myself stepping into a leadership role. i just turned 18 a couple weeks ago and the next thing after earning these wajs is giving back to scouting and our community. and i'm now trained as assistant scout master 133 in kansas city, and special needs and enjoying that a lot, loving the guys. and i definitely benefitted probably a lot more than they have. but, it's a, it's very rewarding work and i love doing it. >> alisyn: that's really sweet. you're an inspiration and curry mcwilliams, lt. colonel rob mcwilliams. thanks for sharing your accomplishments with us. >>. chaos erupting in an airline, because he didn't notice his detector was unplugged. curry would have known that.

>> welcome back to "fox & friends," the california energy commission is mandating new energy efficiency standards starting in 2014. making it that all new homes must have this list here, solar panel roof tops and sensor lights built in and

they also recommend improving spans and windows of temperatures so houses don't get too hot. so they would raise housing prices by $2300, but they say that's not the case. here to weigh in on the ceo of solar 3-d, jim nelson, he knows quite a bit about the green energy market. welcome to the show, nice to see you. >> hay, clayton, nice to be with you. >> when you look at the proposal, you're a smart guy. how does this resonate with you, what do you say when you hear these things. >> i chatted with my son sam about it yesterday and he said to me, it's amazing that these people don't understand economics 101. the fact is, i think, that a lot of the solar, a lot of the california state legislators and lawmakers in general have forgotten about the primary mandate, which is to get the state back to fiscal solvency. the fact is that when they do things like this, that makes housing more expensive for people to afford, when housing gets more expensive for

people, they leave the state to find some place where they can't find housing and for an employer that gets difficult for them to recruit people to california. so, you have people leaving california for cheaper housing. you end up having companies leaving california, so that they can get employees, so you lose the jobs and economic contributions of these companies and tax revenue. so, it gets much more difficult for the state to come back to fiscal solvency. >> the states with the california energy commission because they say the new standards go into effect 2014. we've got to try something here, over in the long run, we put your roofs that are solar ready than when you move into the house, the roof is solar ready. we've got fans built up in there and you have light sensors you so you don't have to worry about a home owner, and you're going to save a boat load of money because you're using solar power, et cetera. >> the fact is that people don't really understand the economics of solar right now. as of today, the current

technology of solar is not ready for prime time. it doesn't save you enough money to pay for the capital that you have put in, up front. to make your solar panels pay off. the fact is that there are lots of innovations happening. my company, solar 3-d is developing is new solar cell, which is going to reduce the cost of solar electricity, and there are a lot of other inno he evaluations going on. but by dictating that you have to use solar today, the government is locking people into an inefficient way of generating electricity. that's not competitive with other ways of generating electricity. it's essentially the government dictating that people have to put luxuries into their house and doesn't work. what the government should really be focused on is on innovation to develop clean technology that will be affordable for people in the future. and then people will readily adopt it on their own. >> clayton: but, we saw that

with picking winners and losers with solyndra and the government saying that's one bad apple. so you run the risk of getting into the gray area again picking winners and losers when you do something like that? >> well, you do. and the biggest problem is that the industry just isn't ready to be competitive with alternatives yet. and the government therefore, feels that it has to force feed the public, the green energy to the public. >> and the fact is that if the government focuses on helping making companies competitive and cost effective, people would, will readily adopt green energy, only through economics not public policy that people will adopt it. >> clayton: jim nelson, up bright and early with us from los angeles. >> that's to be with you. >> thanks, jim. does eating at night pack on the pounds? we're going to celebrate the health facts from fiction, that's good. if i have my late night cheese binge. ♪ ♪

of the system and that's why florida is drenched with so much rain and outer bands moving through the state flaf f -- of florida. and so aside from the normal concerns that we have, with tropical storms, like storm surge, flooding, and also wind, you have that concern with some isolated tornados possible, especially on the eastern part of the storm system. i want to point out. it's a little early in the season to have the fourth named storm already. it's actually a record that debby just set and we typically do look to the area, though, for tropical activity during the month of june. water across the gulf of mexico, is very warm and across the western caribbean and that's why we have debby that's formed across this region. again, update. stronger system now, sustained winds at 60 miles per hour and the idea it's heading westward. not made it yet. northward at two miles per hour and when they move slowly, a sign of what they're expected to do.

it's headed westward and strengthening and a category 1 hurricane that stays over water. >> i do that, too, when i'm at a store, start to move slowly and decide which way to turn. >> you would expire yourself to a tropical storm. >> alisyn: a tropical depression. >> mike: no question. >> clayton: thanks, maria. let's bring in chris wallace now live from washington d.c. ahead of his big show on fox news sunday. talking to darrell issa about big issues, all eyes on what congress and the supreme court is doing. nice to see you this morning, chris, happy sunday. >> happy sunday to you guys, good to be with you. let's talk about issues on the docket and first talk about immigration. are we going to start with immigration? we've got like three things shoo sure. >> clayton: if you don't mind. >> there's going be to be a decision by the supreme court this week on the administration's challenge to the arizona crackdown on immigrants that would allow-- illegal immigrants that would allow police as part of a routine stop to ask to see

people's papers. this isn't clearly as dramatic in terms of its political impact or its policy impact as obamacare, which we'll get to in a second. on the other hand, i do think that it will stir somebody up. interestingly enough in a lot of the cases, i think losing your side losing might actually be good politically. let me give you a quick example. let's say the president loses and the arizona law is upheld, that could energize his hispanic base and he's obviously been reaching out to those voters in the last couple of weeks, with actions, speeches he's made. so, you know, it would be on the one hand, it would be a defeat. on the other hand it might be a political plot saying, hey, we need this president reelected to fight for illegals and to quite for comprehensive immigration policy. the flip side, obviously, is if it's passed there are going to be a lot of people who want to crack down on illegals will be upset and that might help mitt romney. >> it doesn't sound like you

can use that same logic for obamacare, and for the health care law that if it doesn't go forward, it could be somehow a perk for the president, it seems like it would be a real loss. >> well, i think it would be a mixed blessing, let me give you my analysis on this. on the one hand, if part of the law or all of the law is struck down. you can be sure republicans are going to say, look, the constitutional law professor, president obama, spent more than a year of his time and the nation's time focusing on this and it didn't pass. on the other hand, i will tell you i've had top administration officials say, if, particularly just the mandate is struck down, that's the part that people are most upset about, that removes an issue and there are a lot of parts of the law, at least in the polls are popular, like letting people stay on their-- kids stay on their parents' insurance policies until the age of 26 or insuring coverage for people with preexisting

conditions. if you strike down the mandate maybe take the burr out of the saddle. the flip side if it's all entirely upheld, then republicans benefit because the constitutional-- the legal challenge is gone, that obviously wouldn't work anymore, and then, mitt romney can make the case, you have to elect me president because that's the only way this bill will ever get struck down. >> mike: wow, an interesting take on that. chris, you have darrell issa on today. >> we have darrell issa as well as elijah cummings. and darrell issa, the house committee and cummings the top democrat and the hearing to hold holder in contempt. and this is historic, if they vote the first time in the history of this nation that the full house, either house of congress, has voted the attorney general, the chief law enforcement officer of the land in contempt. symbolbly at least that's

important, one could argue what the practical impact would be, but certainly a constitutional standoff. >> clayton: if you look at the definition of contempt, i mean, by law accordingly and who knows if they'd enact all of this. the sergeant of arms is basically suppose today come in and lead the guy out in handcuffs, out of the chamber in handcuffs. >> well, he's not going be to be in the chamber, but does raise the question, could you is ask the sergeant at arms and capitol police to arrest him. >> unbelievable. >> literally, people are talking about this. the attorney general has his own security force, executive security, so, are you going to have a standoff between the capitol police on one side, and the executive security on the other. >> alisyn: wow. >> could you also, also vote to impeach him. again, it's very uncharted constitutional waters here. >> alisyn: yeah, it will be very interesting in washington and for the country. chris, what are you watching. >> and for our show. >> alisyn: absolutely. watching your show this morning. >> and wyatt earp on the show next. >> alisyn: that's right.

talk point. that's absolutely nonsensical. and some of those documents, there's some interesting data. in 2009 when they started letting guns what we call walk, they-- >> and the wide receiver program that he's talking about under president bush. >> right. >> alisyn: different than fast and furious. >> absolutely. that was a standard law enforcement tactic, delivered contraband and frequent monitors, and when they broke down, they stopped toperation. and the fact that they didn't monitor these in fast and furious, breaks the rules and botched. what about that, you say that you have lots of friends at the atf. what is in these documents? i mean, that's the $64,000 question that everyone wants to know. >> that's what i'd like to know, too, that's where i think sunshine is the best

that. >> there's only two possible scenarios, there's something there in the documents and they're hiding it or there's nothing there and there's some partisan politics going on. we get that's happening on both sides. the that's not the point. there are dead folks out there including dead united states agents. those families and the american people are entitled to know what happened with the weapons. we use today let counterfeit money all the time, controlled delivery, that's dinner than allowing drugs to walk, there was a death involved here and i think that information is pivotal and really needs to be put out there. >> alisyn: we'll see what happens this week. dan, thank you for coming in. >> very welcome, thank you. >> alisyn: president obama outsourcing donations now. why he's scrambling for campaign cash overseas. len take a look at this video. do you believe this monkey was once paralyzed? why is this significant? because it's a medical break through that could soon be available to paralyzed humans, it's a story you won't want to miss. ♪ and it's not easy, to me. ♪

dissolved the parliament and will be in charge of writing the new constitution and that made the muslim brotherhood and supporters in tahrir square very angry and in the owe other side you have ahmed shafik, the prime minister under hosni mubarak and his supporters are also rallying, closer into the wealthier neighborhoods and the suburbs of cairo where his strong holds are. as we go forward, this is what to watch for. you will have the results come out, one side will be obviously happy and another side, very unhappy and there were allegations on both sides of voter fraud and obstructing the ballot box and the election commission here already delayed the results, and as they try to filter through those appeals and accusations and as we go forward, they are going to make a decision, whoever announced the president, one side will be unhappy and, if it is the muslim brotherhood, behind me who is unhappy they promised to stay in tahrir square and this is the kind of situation that could get out of hand, very, very quickly

and the army already said they are going to not look kindly upon unrest or violence and everyone here in this country feels as though they need to get it moving forward. the question is how, right now, unofficially there are 800,000 votes that separate those candidates but, again, the supreme election commission can do whatever it wants here in egypt and rumors are swirling as we speak. back to you guys at the announcement, when it happens. >> mike: quickly, how will they learn about it? on twitter? a loud speaker? how will they know? >> reporter: great question, now we have state tv on in the room and that is how everybody comes out. there is going to be a news conference by the supreme election commission. and, they will go town the results and will declare the winner and that will be put out to the crowd and they have loud speakers and cars with radios blaring and can also pipe in the tv to these huge loudspeakers they are using, right now to rev up the crowd with not only

anti-american slogans and anti-israel slogans and also, doing that to rev up the crowd, also, for pro mohamed morsi slogans. >> alisyn: boy, lots will happen here this morning, leland vittert, thank you very much, we'll keep an eye on that and bring you the latest breaking news as it happens. >> clayton: now, our attention back home to the fast and furious scandal because, as you know the white house invoking privilege which would protect thousands of documents that at least was the movement by the white house to do this, and shocked a lot of people who wondered why the president is now getting involved in this. it was the department of justice and now the president, throwing his hat into the ring on this and invoking executive privilege and louie gohmert on fox and friends said we could see a lawsuit as a result of this now, take a listen. >> it will bring about a civil suit we'll file in federal court in d.c. and demand that they produce a log of all the documents they are claiming privilege.

as a judge, i reviewed things like that in camera and you determine what is privileged and what isn't and there may not be anything that is privileged here but now, they'll end up having to produce the law they say is privileged. >> alisyn: so, the white house was hoping, by enacting executive privilege, that this would go away. the congressional investigation would be able to go forward and it seems to be doing the opposite and is opening a ball of wax, a civil lawsuit to find out if executive privilege was appropriate in this case, because it suggests that there was some sort of deliberative process, the exact wording, some sort of private discussion, that happened that you don't want the public to know about or don't want congress to be able to hear about. well, if there were private discussions, that is all the more reason congress want to hear what was said. >> mike: true and it will be up to judges, a federal appeals court and might go back to, 1997, the clinton administration when he wanted to use executive

privilege. look at this: the prejudice appeared, altogether, when there is any reason to believe government misconduct occurred. >> clayton: a gray area. how do you determine it without seeing what was in the documents? but when the president then invokes it may be it rises to the level of questioning, it didn't just happen in a field office, man it went much higher and of course the family of brian terry, one of the slain border agents involved in the process wants an apology from eric holder. wants a public apology or some sort of apology to the family and this is one of the issues. we don't know whether the apology has men made and we have some reports it was behind closed doors. >> alisyn: we had the head of the national border security union on our show yesterday, george mcreuben and here's what he is demanding from the attorney general. >> there is somebody responsible, they need to be held account. it is simple for us. we're looking for a sincere

apology to the terry family. we're looking that he turns over all the relevant documents. we're also looking for him to answer all of the questions honestly, and truthfully. to date, i don't believe he has done that and the fourth step, as you stated, is for him to resign his post as the attorney general. >> mike: matthew miller said the apology took place, he's a former aide to attorney general eric holder. he said that eric actually did reach out to the family but in a private fashion. >> he didn't think it was appropriate to make a big show of it in public and, you know, apologize in front of a full senate hearing in front of the cameras but he reached out to them privately and expressed his regret in a way that i think was appropriate and the right thing to do. >> not in front of the cameras in a public hearing where he's saying it on tv cameras but in a private way. >> alisyn: except that there is confusion about it, because in early november, eric holder

appeared with one of his many appearances before the congressional committee in which case -- point they asked him, have you apologized and he said, no. and then, there are some reports that a letter did arrive at the terry's house, in which he did apologize so it may have come via letter or as a result of the congressional committee's prodding him. >> mike: probably the best way to apologize is to at least tell them privately what he has read in these documents, how did it all go so wrong? >> alisyn: they don't want an apology, they also want information. >> mike: how did it happen. >> clayton: much more happening on the show, you have to stick around well, have crazy stuff going on, including this, president obama stunned the country with his decision to stop deportation of young illegal immigrants and our next guest says that is not even legal. we'll explore it straight ahead. >> alisyn: and from a karaoke star to an opening act, a military wife's singing land her a spot alongside rascal flatts

and we'll meet her and find out what is great about the song. >> mike: plus a sport reaching new "heights." human tower building. this is a big deal in places like india and, chile and spain. >> clayton: now on our plaza this morning. they are climbing up to o'reilly's office. see if they can get a stapler out of there. almost tastes like one of jack's cereals. fiber one. uh, forgot jack's cereal. [ jack ] what's for breakfast? um... try the number one!

[ jack ] yeah, this is pretty good. [ male announcer ] half a day's worth of fiber. fiber one.

[ male announcer ] ok, so you're no marathon man. but thanks to the htc one x from at&t, with its built in beats audio, every note sounds amazingly clear. ...making it easy to get lost in the music... and, well... rio vista?!! [ male announcer ] ...lost. introducing the musically enhanced htc one x from at&t. rethink possible. >> clayton: welcome back, president obama making the

controversial move to bypass congress and allow up to 800,000 young illegal immigrants to remain in the united states. but our next guest says this isn't even illegal. joining us now is the kansas secretary of state, chris kovac, nice to see you. >> good morning, clayton. >> clayton: you think actually it puts agents, federal agents, in an uncomfortable situation. how so? >> well, you know, a lot of people saw the obama order about nine days ago and thought, well that is odd. it is congress that is supposed to be doing this and saw the balance of power problem but there is an even bigger problem and that is that it breaks federal law, to do what the obama administration is ordering these agents to do. because in 1996, congress passed a law, they were frustrated with the clinton administration not deporting these people and passed a law that says when you come into contact with an illegal agent if you are a federal agent you must, not may, must put the person in deportation proceedings and the obama administration order of a

while ago says you have to take these people and instead of putting them into deportation proceedings have to tell them, congratulations you are eligible for the amnesty, you are free to go and he basically is ordering federal agents to break the law. >> clayton: the argument, though, is these are not hostile individuals and therefore probably don't run into law enforcement, necessarily, these are individuals who have a clean record and maybe served in the military, have degrees. and therefore are not likely to afoul of the law in the way and border agents may never even come face-to-face with them. what do you say to that. >> if they never come face-to-face with any immigration enforcement agent then the 1996 statute wouldn't kick in but the idea that, well these individuals haven't really broken the law is a silly idea because their presence in the u.s., after a person reaches 18 is responsible for his actions, and under our federal immigration laws, if you are an illegal alien at that point it is your responsibility to go home to your home country,

otherwise you are breaking the law by remaining, so, whether a good... >> clayton: deporting like mitt romney, talks about, aware you are breaking the law and self-deport. >> a fancy way of saying go home and if you want to come to the u.s. legally on a future date feel free to apply tor a visa. >> clayton: all eyes on the supreme court, what will unfold at the arizona immigration law and the supreme court expected to rule on this as early as monday. do you think the law which you helped craft, the arizona immigration law will be struck down? >> i don't think it will be struck down, i was in the courtroom when the supreme court had the hearings and it was pretty clear from the tenor of the hearings that the court sees very little problem if any with the arizona law and when we drafted it, we drafted it so that it perfectly mirrors federal law and fits exactly in the windows, the federal government has opened, for the states to help. in the enforcement of our immigration laws and, it became clear the way the justices were

challenging solicitor general verilli, most didn't see a problem with the arizona law, too and i'm opt mesc the law will be upheld by the courts. >> clayton: do you see other states, kansas and other states, other states following the lead of arizona? do you think if this is upheld this week, a flood gate of other, similar laws across the country? >> i do think you will see other states follow. but, because of the time of year we're in, you will not see the flood happening until january, most state legislatures are out of session and will not start until january and you will see a lag for a few months and in december might see bills being drafted and january, i'm almost certain, we'll see them introduced in the state legislature and by the way, we have had a few states follow arizona, alabama, south carolina and georgia and a few others. >> clayton: it will be interesting to see as mitt romney supported the arizona immigration law and president obama fighting this, obviously on their side. we'll see who wins this argument. so to speak, coming forward. chris kobach, the kansas secretary of state.

thanks for waking up with us this morning, appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> clayton: coming up on the show, a father losing custody of his children after a judge rules that he is unfit to parent because he is too obese. but does the number on the scale really determine whether or not you are a good parent? we'll debate that, next. plus a dream come true for a military wife. her karaoke singing, there she is singing, winning her the spot to open for rascal flatts. he'll join us live in a few minutes. good morning. welcome aboard!

>> clayton: here's another fun time at the airport. really enjoyable time when you go to the airport, being frisked and groped and everything else. >> alisyn: that is your favorite part. >> clayton: once you get through security -- the security and are at the gate and all fine, just be thankful you weren't at j.f.k. yesterday, already to get on the flight and you find out you have to be evacuated and go back through the screening process because of one thing. what was wrong with the machine? >> alisyn: the metal detector was unplugged. >> mike: simple as that? >> alisyn: yes, the metal detector -- i didn't know they plugged in, i thought they had another operational -- >> powered by the sun. >> alisyn: perhaps and they have lights on the top, you probably have seen them as you go through that tell the tsa agents whether or not you are packing -- and the lights were not registering for some unidentified amount of time and this figured out, huh? it isn't plugged in. >> clayton: and mike it happened

to you yesterday in a hotel room, right. >> mike: yeah, i told a story earlier i was trying to iron the shirt, as a matter of fact and, why won't -- the steamer is not working, darn it! oh, not plugged in! same thing, except on a multimillion-dollar basis. >> clayton: no once had the wherewithal to check it. like the i.t. question, the first question the i.t. guy asks you, is the power on, plugged in? >> mike: and the answer is no. >> alisyn: yours was not of national security -- you can argue your shirt does matter but here's a bigger wrinkle, two planes had to be called back after they left the gate, called back, passengers evacuated, rescreened, the chaos at j.f.k. was -- there was an hour, many hours, ripple effect of all of this and, it doesn't give you the most comfort in terms of tsa checking bags to make sure... >> mike: i like what you did weather the wrinkle line.

talking about my shirt. >> clayton: she wove that. >> alisyn: we have a "fox news alert," we are still awaiting word on the results of egypt's highly disputed presidential run off election. look at this: you can see the massive crowds gathering in cairo's tahrir square, security officials are on high alert at this hour, ready to put down, they say, any unrest. it that is expected to arise as a result of the announcement the winner will replace hosni mubarak, who was overthrown in a popular up rising last year, the races between hosni mubarak's former prime minister and a candidate from the muslim brotherhood. the results were delayed after both candidates declared victory. >> mike: 800,000 votes apart. >> alisyn: meanwhile a wildfire sparked in colorado, adding more of the already -- more to the flames of the already overextended fire crews there. the blaze near waldo canyon

prompting the evacuation of more than 1,000 homes, 2,000 acres are burning and it is expected to grow as the fire is 0% contained. luckily, no one has been hurt and no homes have caught fire. what moms will do for their babies. look at this: a bear cub is trapped in a garage for some reason. and dangling from the rafters, have no fear and mama bear is here and the mama bear somehow opens the garage door and pushes it up and they call out to each other and the baby bear climbs done a ladder she happens to find laying around and... what was that? >> mike: climb down the orange ladder! >> alisyn: and the mother said, you are so grounded. >> clayton: a lot of people writing this and, controversial and she says you can clearly see the small bear moving the door down, the door is open for the

bear's mother, see? and he's pushing the door down. >> alisyn: he closed it? what a mischievous little bear. >> mike: big story, the gulf of mexico is debbie. hurricane force, big storm of the year and here's marie to tell us where she is. >> reporter: the fourth big storm of the season, early in the season, actually a record as far as the earliest we have had, and, the letter named "d" storm and typically it would occur late in august, well ahead of schedule and we have the storm system, stronger with maximum sustained winds at 60 miles per hour, the latest advisory from the hurricane center and, the center of the system is forecast to eventually turn westward, however, it has not done that yet. still moving northward slowly at two miles per hour, and those tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 200 miles from northeast of the center of the storm system, you can't really pay attention to this exact track because you can be

feeling the impact well out from the center of the storm system and that is what is happening across the western coast of florida and the florida panhandle. we have outer rain bands already impacting the region and bringing in very heavy rain and that is where we expect to continue with the storm system, very slow mover again, you guys an tropical storm warnings in effect along parts of the florida coast and also the alabama-mississippi border. >> clayton: thank you so much, maria and let's talk about this story, a lot of you are fired up on facebook and twitter. a father gets to a point where he becomes too obese to, basically, parent, at least that is the argument from the court which had removed him and took away custody of him from his kids, two sons as a result of it being too obese, to parent. and the argument was, though, he has tried to lose weight and couldn't and lost some weight and couldn't and had other issues but is not a good father because he cannot move around to take care of his kids. >> alisyn: two sons, aged 5 and 6 were taken away from him and put up for adoption and here's what our guests thought about

the debate, earlier. >> if he has a drug problem or alcohol problem or is so r so debilitated they can't care for the children that is a case where the court needs to step in and take care and make sure the children are properly conveyored for. >> the fact he lost over 100 pounds in a year goes a long way towards creating and adapting to a situation that is not ideal. a lot of parents are in situations that are not ideal. >> alisyn: right, we should mention he lost 150 pounds on his own, he has lost this. yet his children were still taken away, because the judge's rationale, it's a full-time job to lose the weight and can't parent at the same time. >> mike: the subject always sparks controversy and your e-mails, here's mike in alabama: who in this country has a right to decide who can and cannot be a parent. first it is weight, next, stupidi stupidity? come on, nanny state

wussification! >> alisyn: and, this is in ottawa, canada. >> clayton: brandon writes: how can you take children away from a loving parents due to their weight and place them with complete strangers? i can't see how it possibly would be the best interest of the children and is outrageous and heartbreaking and the other side is, is it in the best interest of the children to have a parent who isn't mobile and can't actually take care of them and get up and move around and physically care -- >> mike: when you see people at the mall and they are really obese and being trailed by three little obese children, don't you get a little worried for them? >> clayton: we had the guest on who joined the military and he says my whole family is obese and i'm really trying to be a beacon of hope for my family. and lost all the weight. we cannot be obese in my family and makes meals for his grand parents and parents. an issue. >> alisyn: this father is trying to do the right thing, keep 'em coming, the family of brian terry is still looking for answers in the botched fast and furious operation and are hoping

for justice, we'll hear from a family member of the slain border agent next. >> dave: and you don't want to miss this, a human tower is built right outside of our studio. can they go as high as 5, 6, 7 stories? we'll check it out. how much coffee are you fellows going to need today?

three...four cups? [dumbfounded] well, we...

doesn't last long does it? listen. 5-hour energy lasts a whole lot of hours. so you can get a lot done without refills. it's packed with b-vitamins and nutrients to make it last. so don't just stand there holding your lattes, boys. make your move. we'll take the 5-hour energy. smart move. 5-hour energy. hours and hours of energy. >> clayton: welcome back to, the fallout is escalating over the fast and furious, now the president of the border control council is calling on attorney general eric holder to step down. >> somebody responsible, they need to be held accountable. it is simple for us. we look that he turns over the relevant documents, we're also looking for him to answer all of the questions honestly, and truthfully. to date i don't believe he has done that and the fourth step as you stated is for him to resign

his post as the attorney general. >> clayton: will that be enough for brian terry's family, joining us is the shrine border agent's cousin, and is chairman of the new brian terry foundation and started a web site which we'll talk about in a moment, honorbrianterry.com. nice to see you this morning, robert, welcome to "fox & friends." >> good morning, clayton, thank you. >> clayton: you heard him talking. is that enough for you, would your family be okay with those results? >> well, clayton, you have to remember, it has been 18 months since brian was murdered. and on that december 15, 2010, in arizona, it has been 12 months since we testified before congress asking for three things: truth, justice and accountability. so far we haven't got that. >> clayton: now, on this late last week, we haven't talked to you since it happened, president obama invokes an executive privilege to keep some of these

documents private. of course the department of justice, darrell issa have been asking for thousands of pages of documents in this case because they want answers and want to know, first of all, who knew about this and when they did, what did they do? when you heard that the president invoked the executive privilege, what did you think? >> well, the same things that darrell issa and the oversight committee are asking for are the things at the terry family needs to know. understandably, they are very, very frustrated with this process. and understandably, so. brian died protecting the borders of the united states, he was a u.s. marine, he was a police officer in his home town of lincoln park, michigan, and he was a border patrol agent and that is when he was murdered. and he deserves better. >> clayton: and he deserved an apology, the family deserved an apology for what happened, that is what the family asked for and attorney general eric holder and we have heard that that had not

happened. however we did now hear that mr. miller, an assistant to the attorney general, said that this has happened and it happened though in private, away from the cameras, that the attorney general didn't want a public display of it but had a private conversation with the family. can you confirm that? >> the attorney general has reached out to the family. it probably -- well, it didn't happen as quick as the family had hoped, but, the attorney general has reached out to brian's parents. >> clayton: okay. and can you share anything more with us about that conversation? >> well, we'll keep that private, between the attorney general and the terry family. but, what i want to do is point out that, you know, this has really turned into what a lot of people think is a partisan fight. when, really, this is about right and wrong.

i think everyone acknowledges that the tactics, fast and furious never should have been employed and we must make sure that this never happens again. part of that is holding people responsible, holding the decisionmakers accountable for the decisions made at fast and furious and that is one of reasons we started the brian terry foundation, and the web site, honorbrianterry.com. >> clayton: there it is on the bottom of our screen, folks at home, go there and check out the web site, and we'll link to it on fox news.com as well, we appreciate you joining us this morning and sharing your thoughts on this and bringing new news to us this morning, appreciate that. >> thank you, appreciate that. >> clayton: coming up next, more than 100 people outside of our building right now, making a human tower. doing it all morning long out there and they'll try to reach up to the 8th floor and get up a

little higher and see if they can reach up to bill o'reilly's office. >> we're on now. go, go, go! [ banker ] mike and brenda found a house that they really wanted. it was in my sister's neighborhood. i told you it was perfect for you guys. literally across the street from her sister. [ banker ] but someone else bought it before they could get their offer togher. we really missed a great opportunity -- dodged a bullet there. [ banker ] so we talked to them about the wells fargo priority buyer preapproval. it lets people know that you are a serious buyer because you've been credit-approved. we got everything in order so that we can move on the next place we found. which was clear on the other side of town.

[ male announcer ] wells fargo. with you when you're ready to move.

>> alisyn: welcome back s. >> clayton: a tradition of hundreds of years old, people building human towers across the sky and this team from spain may have built the world record, an 8-level tower and are here to recreate it on our plaza. >> alisyn: the filmmaker is behind the documentary, the human tower. hi, rob. you have young kids here, involved in the human tower, too. >> go to the very top. >> mike: how long does it take? >> they are getting the base ready now. >> clayton: why did you do a

documentary? it takes place all over the world. >> yes. india, spain and chile and is a great metaphor for trust, one of the best community builders you can imagine and i fell in love with that and the movie, the human tower cap stuarts the spirit and passion of the team and what they are doing all over the world. >> clayton: and mike told me, earlier, the older folks are on the bottom, right? and it is a metaphor for life, right? the base of your society, and the older folks like mike and then you have like the young kids, like alisyn? >> mike: it looks like they are standing but they started. >> waiting for the cue. >> clayton: let's go. >> go, guys. >> alisyn: is it dangerous? >> they train quite a bit, extensively and it is actually the new york giant of tower building, the best in the world.
